GCSE Computer Science - Coding/Python - Interactive + Script mode/ Outputs / Syntax Errors

This lesson is one of a series to teach Coding techniques in Python and it focusses on introducing Python and gets users to start thinking about how to structure a simple program using interactive and script modes as well as looking at what operators can be used in programs and how Python can output data.

It has been especially designed for GCSE.

Learning Objectives

• Know the difference between Interactive and Script mode
• Understand how to print out simple Output in Python
• Understand what Syntax Errors are and how to avoid them

All necessary resources to run the lesson are included in this download.

• A lesson presentation with examples of the code
• Challenges to allow students to show their mastery of the concepts all based upon outputting text using different techniques
• Possible solutions for each challenge
• Original Python files to allow you to run the programs to see how the programs work
• Mathematical operators discovery worksheet

This lesson is perfect to use to deliver a full lesson or as revision to help students recap skills they have learnt previously
It is also ideal for NQTs and non-specialist teachers who need to learn Python programming or any teacher wanting to fill in gaps in their Python programming knowledge

The aim of all my resources is to provide lessons / activities of good quality that will add value to your lessons / schemes of work.

All activities and resources have been used in class and any errors will be fixed and resources updated as soon as I am aware of any errors. I have priced my resources at what I consider to be a reasonable cost based upon the amount of effort and work I have put into them but <strong> all comments and suggestions are very welcome </strong> and will be used to improve future resources.

If you have an idea for a topic / resource that you would like to see, feel free to leave a comment.
